Supplemental Information	The publication(s) listed below are related to the data collection and are available from the NOAA Central Library: Nancy J. Pennington and Robert A. Weller, 1986 FASINEX (Frontal Air Interaction Experiment). Woods Hole, Mass. : Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1986. Original Abstract: The current meter data in this accession was collected over a five month period from moored current meters as part of the Frontal Air-Sea INteraction EXperiment (FASINEX) project. The data was collected by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Woods Hole, MA from January 15 to June 1, 1986 and submitted by Dr. Robert Weller. Note: Metadata for this accession were extracted from a legacy database maintained by the U.S. National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC). The design of the database did not exactly reflect the FGDC Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM). Principal Investigator (PI) and organization contact information accurately represents all available information from the legacy database at the time that this description was created. However, proper attribution of a PI to a specific institution or the role (submitting or collecting) taken by an institution may not be correct due to inexact mapping between fields in the legacy database and the CSDGM. Due to this uncertainty, the contact information was initially recorded in the Supplemental Information element of the CSDGM description. To develop more accurate metadata, NCEI reviews metadata for all accessions on an ongoing basis.
